Curly: Hi, I won’t be paying for a disconnecting fee? Ive had poor service for a long time now and things just haven’t been working since Wednesday last week. Hopeless

Of course you do not pay a disconnect fee. They offer their contracts free of term. Why did you have to take an account with them with a disconnect fee? Look on their website, all contracts ar
e no term.

i find that odd. they said to me if i disconected id have to pay 200$ im on naked dsl
so very confused.

You can try to not pay but either way you took a contract and I doubt in their contract is anything saying there will be 100% uptime. Outages happen.

I would imagine you'd be alright not paying though. Who knows.

I don't think you need to pay, because the situation is nznet disconnected you, so if anyone is paying the disconnect fee, it should be nznet.

These guys are in damage control. most customer have run away now that connection is still patchy and they refused to communicate or offer any form of compensation to those that have been loyal to them for so long.

They will be far too busy to drag you into a payment dispute.
If they challenge you for the 200$ I would bring the matter to the Dispute Tribunal if I were you. That is not a big deal, and given the abominable situation they brought you in, the referee wil be on your side.

What may be even better is that you contact www.consumer.org.nz and ask them for an opinion.

They will anyway be interested in a failed company and always have a close eye on ISP's.

Good luck and don't be too nervous. Just dump them.

If this causes them to go bust, you can bet the receivers will be keen on collecting every disconnection fee they can. True, they won't have time to argue with customers so they might agree to waive any disconnect fees which will prevent them being claimed later. However, anybody who uses VoIP has to understand that internet outages can happen for lots of reasons, and the fact that internet is down doesn't mean they intentionally cut of your phone. Thats one reason I have a landline as well as VoIP, apart from a 2nd line being convenient.

Time to find a new industry!

I see that my ADSL light on the modem is still on.

Does this mean that I am still connected to NZNet ??

I would like to try to hard code their IP numbers 180.189.208.8 and 66.246.76.21

I feel nervous about going into the modem, there are many options when I login in my modem.

What about settings for PPoE DHCP etc ?

Does anybody have experience here with a Netcomm NB5 Plus 4 ?

I feel uncomfortable juggling the numbers around.

Thanks so much for some help.

Ordinarily I would not be blogging on a forum on geekzone, however I have joined especially to vent about NZNET! It took 6 weeks to finally get my connection, after having incorrect addresses in their system, probably due to a language barrier, and numerous other problems. I had my connection for 4 days and then it went down, I have been without phone and net for a week now, yet I have just recieved a SECOND invoice via email. Oh the check of it! I have had no assistance, yet they have time to send out invoices for the four days of connection I have recieved. I have advised them that I want to disconnect yet cannot get a reply to this request either! This company is a complete joke and the sooner Orcon have reconnected me the better!!

Looks like they finally sorted their Skytower presence last night. I'm not sure about the reasons they've provided for the delays, though...

No signature to see here, move along...
